The letter G is one of the more challenging letters to read and write. It’s often taught later in the phonics curriculum. Both uppercase and lowercase g require plenty of practice before students can master the correct formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note that there are two forms of lowercase g – the fish hook and the loop tail. Kids typically learn to write the fish hook as it’s simpler and more frequently used in handwriting. However, exposing them to the loop tail is beneficial since they’ll encounter it while reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phonemic Awareness With Letter G<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regarding phonics, the letter G is one of the more challenging letters to teach. Kids need lots of practice and experience with words featuring the two sounds of G. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When learning phonics with G, students first must understand that G can make two sounds – \/g\/ and \/j\/. There is a simple rule to help students remember whether to use a hard or soft G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find which sound of G to use, look at the letter immediately following G. If it’s an I, E, or Y, then G will make the \/j\/ sound. If it’s A, O, or U, G will make the \/g\/ sound. When G ends the word, it makes a \/g\/ sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This letter G worksheet is a good option for preschoolers and kindergarteners who are just learning the sounds of G. The sheet features all \/g\/ sounds, making it less overwhelming for young learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
